Displacement Range:
Typically 0.8L (770cc), 0.9L (903cc), 1.0L (999cc), 1.1L (1116cc), 1.3L (1301cc), 1.4L (1372cc), and 1.6L (1585cc) for petrol engines. Diesel engines might include 1.3L or 1.4L variants.
Power Output Range:
From approximately 34 hp to 118 hp (for performance variants like the Uno Turbo).
Fuel Delivery:
Could include carbureted systems (Weber, Solex) or fuel injection systems (single-point or multi-point, depending on the era and engine).
Block Material:
Typically cast iron block with an aluminum cylinder head.
Ignition Type:
Contact breaker points and condenser or electronic ignition system, depending on the model year and variant.
Cooling Type:
Liquid-cooled.
Transmission Type:
Typically a 4-speed or 5-speed manual transmission.
Optional Transmission:
Some models may have offered a 3-speed automatic transmission.
Clutch Type:
Dry single-plate clutch operated hydraulically or by cable.
Manual Transmission Fluid:
Likely API GL-4 specification, with viscosity grades such as 75W-90 or 80W-90. Capacity typically around 2.0-2.5 liters.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Automatic Transmission Fluid:
Likely Dexron III or equivalent for automatic variants. Capacity around 4-5 liters.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, depending on engine type and oil used. For older models with mineral oil, it could be 5,000-7,500 km.
Timing Belt Replacement:
Crucial for FIRE engines. Generally every 60,000 to 80,000 km or 4-5 years. Failure can cause catastrophic engine damage.
Spark Plug Replacement:
Depending on plug type (copper, platinum, iridium), intervals can range from 20,000 km to 80,000 km.
Engine Oil Grade:
Commonly SAE 10W-40 or 15W-40 for older engines. Synthetic oils like 5W-30 or 0W-40 may be suitable for later or performance variants if specified by Fiat.
Engine Oil Capacity:
Varies by engine, typically 3.0 to 4.0 liters with filter change.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant, usually a pink or blue type. Capacity around 5.0-6.0 liters.
Rust Corrosion:
A common issue, particularly on older models, affecting wheel arches, sills, and rear panel.
Electrical Gremlins:
Can include issues with wiring harnesses, switches, and relays, especially in older, high-mileage vehicles.
Cooling System Leaks:
Hose degradation, radiator leaks, and water pump failures are not uncommon.
Clutch Wear:
Normal wear and tear on the clutch assembly, requiring replacement over time.
Carburetor Issues:
For carbureted models, issues like rough idling, poor fuel economy, or difficulty starting can arise from carburetor wear or maladjustment.
